Day 97

I went back to the Social Security office today at about 9:30 to complete my application.  We stopped at the Donut and Taco Palace so Ellen could get breakfast.  It was packed.

So was the SS office.  After waiting for about 20 minutes they called my name.  As I sat down at the window the security guard came over and demanded that I take my knife outside.  So I had Ellen do it.  There was no point in arguing with an idiot.

After that we went to Wally World for a sewer hose support and Home Depot and for some paint for the control panel.  We also stopped by Spec's and picked up some prickly pear juice and some Texas whiskey.

By then it was late enough to pick up the mail, so we did.  After a stop at the bank Lucy finally got to Circle C.  She ran a very long time.  Ellen and I froze as the wind was blowing and it was in the low 40's.

When we got home I surfed most of the afternoon away.  I did manage to sort through the parts I have for the control panel.  I may have to make another order.

This evening Lucy is really stiff.  I think she over did it.  Ellen went to archery and I surfed.
